    Lol well there's that. I guess it ain't too bad if it makes it more likely my letter will get on top of the priority list ^^

    Hmm... I've never sent fan mail to anyone before. Maybe I should try at least once. It will probably end up being all in katakana and hiragana though... and then he would think a kindergartener wrote it LOL.

    Of course I don't necessarily agree with what the JSF is doing, and I wouldn't want to defend the methods they're employing. I guess it just hasn't made me too upset yet, since I do think they have the right to promote their other skaters, as long as it's still within reasonable bounds. Now if they start doing this for several magazines, for a number of issues/editions, then that's another matter. (And those dubious photoshopped images that got printed in newspapers a while back, those types of tactics are a bit too underhanded and are a big no, whoever's responsible for them.). I do agree that they can't make readers like specific athlets simply by "force feeding" them their hand-picked content. But I guess I can understand the exasperation if they want more exposure for their other skaters, and the magazines are just not willing to give them the page space for it. What I heard is that the other pages contained articles featuring a mix of other skaters (though I haven't read the magazine myself to confirm this), so at least it's not for the benefit of just one specific skater being favored by JSF. Again, I'm not trying to paint JSF in a good light. I'm just not yet too disturbed by this specific instance of JSF intervention. But I do hope there won't be too many more cases like this in the future.

    It's sad to hear this, but I also think it's because the JSF would also like to give their other skaters a chance to shine. It would be equally bad if they were seen as neglecting their other athletes. As long as it doesn't move into more underhanded territory than that, then I guess I can live with what JSF are trying to do here.
